Question about warped rotors

I think I just warped my rotors again, but I have a question about them. Sometimes when I warp I can feel the brake pedal pulsing and the steering wheel shaking, but then sometimes I don't feel it. Are warped rotors suppose to do this or is something else causing this problem? I get this problem at high speeds where sometimes it shakes and sometimes it doesn't. so my question isn't if its a warped rotor, but is a warped rotor suppose to give u the pulsing sensation at random?

I have a 2002 TL-P. The rotors warped after like 13k miles. What happened was that the vibrations/pulsations in the pedal and steering wheel were felt not in hard braking, but medium to soft braking. Brakes are probably one of the very few faults on our cars, haha. We should all upgrade to 4-piston caliper 13.0" brakes. That should get rid of the problem, haha. I don't have that kind of money though.

but now my new brakes are doing good, and i have vibration. checked, and ended up it's the tires going

You can get random pulsations from warped rotors. It depends on vehicle speed, amount of pressure applied, etc. I have the same problem. They warped once, had them turned, now they are warped again. This time I am out of warranty, so I may just spring for some new rotors when they get really bad.
